    I had the same problem at first. TorqueX is not like TGB as in you cannot just open up TorqueX and start building a game.
    First you have to have Visual C# installed on your machine. The install instructions are located here,

    http://tdn.garagegames.com/wiki/TorqueX/Tutorials/InstallationGuides/VisualCSharp

    After you have Visual C# installed, download and install XNA Game Studio from here,

    http://creators.xna.com/en-US/downloads

    After you have done the above(in that order), then follow the tutorials in your Docs folder located in the install directory of TorqeX on your machine. Example,

    C:\Program Files\GarageGames\Torque X 3.0 for XNA Creator's Club\v3.0.0\Docs\default

    I would start with the Hello World tutorial. All the tutorials show you how to get games up and running in Visual C# and TorqueX though.

    Long story short, you have to have the project open in the Microsoft XNA Game Studio Visual C# IDE before you can open it in Torque X. They work together because Torque X is made to work with XNA and XNA uses Visual C#. Once again, the tutorials in your install directory show you how to do this step by step.

    Hope this helps.
